CROSS-BORDER JUSTICE ACT 2009 (NO 1 OF 2009) - SECT 80

Registration of SA restraining orders under NT law

A registrar of the Court of Summary Jurisdiction may register an SA restraining order in another participating jurisdiction if:

    (a)     the order was made, amended or varied in a cross-border proceeding of a prescribed court of South Australia for which the person against whom the order was made had a connection with a cross-border region that is partly in the other jurisdiction; or

    (b)     the person against whom, or for whose benefit, the order was made ordinarily resides in the other jurisdiction.

Examples for section 80

1     An SA magistrate sitting in a place in WA makes a restraining order under SA's restraining orders laws. For the proceeding, the person against whom the order is made had a connection with the NT/SA/WA region. The registry at the place is a registry of the NT Court of Summary Jurisdiction. Exercising the powers of a registrar of that Court, a registrar registers the order under the NT's restraining orders laws.

2     An SA magistrate sitting in a place in SA makes a restraining order under SA's restraining orders laws. The person for whose benefit the order is made ordinarily resides in SA. The registry at the place is a registry of the NT Court of Summary Jurisdiction. Exercising the powers of a registrar of that NT Court, a registry officer registers the order under the NT's restraining orders laws.
